The farm is situated in the middle of rice fields 5kms away from the center of Pai.
To get to the land, we will cross a beautiful small river and then walk up through rice fields to arrive at the farm.
Up there, it's a nice 360 degrees view on Pai mountains!

Your Organizer

Pai Seedlings Foundation is creating a positive shift in the farming industry by growing, giving, and sharing with the world the benefits of permaculture farming.
We do this in 3 ways:
1) All excess crops are donated to the local schools in Pai to provide the local children with healthy organic foods so they can grow up big and strong!
2) We partner with local businesses who believe in and support the vision for healtier produce. This provides locals and visitors to Pai healthier meals and products that are good for the environment.
3) Our vision is to set up a Permaculture Bootcamp for short 3 day courses and longer 3 week courses where visitors can stay on our farm and learn hands on experience the skills for planting, caring for and growing food (veggies, Fruits, Grains…) This will help spread the awareness of Permaculture and result in small ripple effects of change throughout the world.
